Plugin Organizer plugin is good to prevent CSS, JS files to be called on bbPress forum pages, if they dont belong there.
And the WordPress/BBPress combo is actually quite easy to play with, took me a while (2 years almost) to understand the code but now like a puzzle that is relatively easy to manipulate.
Only big issue I always find is the massive amounts of javascript and css queries, trying soon to combine a bit more.
So when I go to my members page all that I am seeing is my friends not the 7 people that have created an account. So that I can send them friend request.
Thank You Brian
Welcome to WordPress 4.5.2
I am using bbPress is forum software with a twist from the creators of WordPress.
Version 2.5.9 |
BuddyPress helps you build any type of community website using WordPress, with member profiles, activity streams, user groups, messaging, and more.
Version 2.5.3
BuddyPress Activity Plus A Facebook-style media sharing improvement for the activity box.
Version 1.6.4
Thanks Robkk, but I’m still struggling a little. Are you able to offer any further guidance to help me neaten things up.
I’ve changed my CSS to:
li.bbp-forum-info,
li.bbp-topic-title {
float: left;
text-align: left;
width: 40%;
}
li.bbp-forum-topic-count,
li.bbp-topic-voice-count,
li.bbp-topic-views-count,
li.bbp-topic-reply-count {
float: left;
text-align: center;
width: 8%;
}
li.bbp-topic-freshness {
text-align: center;
float: left;
width: 18%;
}
And I’ve created a loop-topics.php in my child theme which I’ve edited as:
<li class=”bbp-header”>
<ul class=”forum-titles”>
<li class=”bbp-topic-title”><?php _e( ‘Topic’, ‘bbpress’ ); ?>
<li class=”bbp-topic-reply-count”><?php bbp_show_lead_topic() ? _e( ‘Replies’, ‘bbpress’ ) : _e( ‘Posts’, ‘bbpress’ ); ?>
<li class=”bbp-topic-views-count”><?php _e( ‘Views’, ‘bbpress’ ); ?>
<?php if(function_exists(‘the_views’)) { the_views(); } ?>
<li class=”bbp-topic-voice-count”><?php _e( ‘Voices’, ‘bbpress’ ); ?>
<li class=”bbp-topic-freshness”><?php _e( ‘Freshness’, ‘bbpress’ ); ?>
I’ve also edited loop-single-topic.php in my child theme (to get views on topics, rather than the forum as a whole), which I’ve edited as (from about line 86):
<li class=”bbp-topic-reply-count”><?php bbp_show_lead_topic() ? bbp_topic_reply_count() : bbp_topic_post_count(); ?>
<li class=”bbp-topic-views-count”>
<?php _e( ‘Views’, ‘bbpress’ ); ?>
<?php if(function_exists(‘the_views’)) { the_views(); } ?>
<li class=”bbp-topic-voice-count”><?php bbp_topic_voice_count(); ?>
Yeah I need to look into that, tried a few years ago but really did not understand how to, even with lots of tutorials.
I do actually have a test site where I keep most of my clients sites during production, url is http://www.my-latest.com and I should use it more…lol
Really not a webdeveloper by trade, just a hobby and being anal about controlling everything myself.
onlijn.com is more of a fun project that had no time allocated for a while, but I am getting to understand BBPress better every time I use it.
Now just completed a BBPress forum at seedism.nl and very happy with the outcome once again.

Ofcourse it is a lot easier now that BBPress and Buddypress have added some core functions that took a lot of hacking a few years ago.
Still loving BBPress and convinced it is the better option for forums.
Peace

Hi,
Thanks for your reply, the short code was used for one “logout” plugin and it was later removed due to compatibility issue with my theme.
Can you please tell me, where I get this “bbPress profile widget ” ?
Await your reply.

Ajit
Okay, now I’m very confused. It appears to be the WP Spamshield plug-in–but I have another install with both bbPress and Spamshield and it works fine (which is why I didn’t bother testing it at first).
I’ll check the support page for the plug-in.
For those who have added the code from palmdoc’s instructions here, you’ll also likely need to change user role permissions so that they can upload inline images to all topics. Solution is here: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/cant-upload-media-in-bbpress/#post-175834
So after updates with BBPress and Buddypress my site is currently broken but will have it up and running soon again with a much improved code.
Hi I have deactivated all plugins except the BBpress plugins
still the same problem just comes back with the last item on the blog.
have also changed the theme to twentyfifteen with all plugins disabled except BBpress.
Same problem!!!
I recently migrated a phpBB forum to bbPress. I currently use 2.6 alpha version. The participants count of all topic is 0. When I try to run the fixing tool it reset all the topics to 1. Even if there are several participants and it happen also for a new topics on the forum after the migration. I think that it doesn’t count the gusets, the participants who don’t have account on the forum. It should also count the guest participants because for a forum that allow to guests to post topics there is no point to show the count of participants if all topics shows 0.
bbPress is tested with wordpress default themes. It maybe a conflict – you need to check plugins and themes
It could be a theme or plugin issue
Plugins
Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.
Themes
If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.
Then come back

Fresh install of WordPress 4.5.2
Fresh install of bbPress 2.5.9-6017
Only other plugin: WP Spamshield
Theme: Moon
Site: GeekNiche.com
All settings left at default.
As Admin/Keymaster, I am unable to create new topics or reply to topics already posted, when in the forums. I can post a new topic from the dashboard.
The error (when trying to post from the forums) reads:
ERROR: You do not have permission to reply.
To test, I created a new user with the “participant” role. That user can create new topics and reply to topics. It’s only the Keymaster who is forbidden from posting.
This would appear to be a problem. 🙂
Hello,
I implemented a basic BBPress to our secured site. all members are registered and automatically assign them to participants. But after a week when I visited some topics went to trash, spam and closed. I checked bbpress code and I can not find any cron task and I`m not using Akismet at all.
I hope you can help me.
Many Thanks 🙂

Very new to this, I have a forum on my site and have installed BBpress search in the side bar, unfortunatly the only results that comeup on any search is the last item I have posted in my blog.
Would appriciate any help on this.
Thanks
When I try to post an image using bbpress, I click the insert image button and this happens.

How can I make it not overlap each other?
Use the listed function on this page, and use it to get the id of a reply, that is the response to another reply, and then you can use this with other bbPress functions to get a threaded replies information.
http://hookr.io/plugins/bbpress/2.5.8/functions/bbp_reply_to/
you can achieve this with forum roles eg
https://codex.bbpress.org/custom-capabilities/
if you want it across all forums
or if you just want one of several to be restricted, then I’ve recently added this to my private groups plugin
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-private-groups/
see topic permissions tab
@rda5009
Or how would I go about adding the reference lookup to obtain the user’s bp group(s), the forum tied to that bp group(s), and then display the recent 5-10 topics?
If you are really not that good with code, try to hire a developer to create this for you.
Here is a couple of links that might be helpful though.

I have 3 forums on my site. I have them set to private so a user needs to login to see and post. To explain lets call them A, B and C. Users may have the following access:
A only
B only
A & B
C only
A & C
A & B
A, B and C
Can someone tell me if this is possible with bbPress’ programming or if I need an additional plugin – and what plugin would be suggested.
If anyone can help me on this I would be greatly appreciative. I have been working hours on this and can’t see how to accomplish it.
Thanks
Sue
Lynqs suggestion in the topic you linked to will not work if you just put his code into a text widget, because the text widget does not output PHP just HTML.
I see you just placed the bbPress login form shortcode into a text widget, why not just use the bbPress profile widget which includes a login form and register, lost password, and logout links.
As I state in this post, you may not need to even add an emoticons plugin, older conservatives may not even use it, but they might every now and then use the simple smilies like :) :( >:( :P

1. Robins plugin uses the same file that has been tossed around these forums for the past 2 or so years.

4. You should probably just keep them, as they help with moderation on the frontend. There is a link in the description to show all posts including ones that may be pending moderation. The yellow ones just help notify users whats up, so if they cannot post for soem reason and there is no notice, they would not know what the issue is.
Here is a link to the code though.
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/where-can-i-remove-the-this-forum-contains-topics-and-themes/#post-167642
5. If you are minifying your CSS, then I say do not worry about this feature.
I don’t really think there is a best practice for forum rules/admin content, it is whatever works for you and makes most sense in the end.
